Doping Existential Despair: Mindful of the Exotic Lure.
Integrative psychological & behavioral science September 1, 2024 Luca Tateo 3 citations
The paper critiques how mainstream psychology selectively adopts only certain concepts from Eastern mindfulness traditions while ignoring their broader philosophical systems. It argues that this partial appropriation limits understanding and proposes instead a fully ecological shift in studying the self, drawing on a Meadian perspective. The author suggests that integrating the complete Eastern worldview, including its metaphysical foundations, could transform psychological approaches to selfhood and mindfulness.
